Corpus Christi, Texas – Cloudy skies and gusty winds are creating a mix of spring warmth and beach hazards across South Texas today, with risks set to linger through Friday. Daytime highs will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s from Victoria to Cotulla, while coastal areas like Corpus Christi and Port Aransas will see temperatures in the low 80s.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, winds will increase to 15–20 mph this afternoon, with occasional gusts up to 25 mph. Rain remains unlikely, with just a 10–20% chance of stray showers or storms mainly in inland counties such as Bee and Live Oak. Tonight, clouds will return, holding overnight lows in the low 70s.
Beaches from Rockport to Port Aransas face a moderate risk of rip currents and a very high UV index today. Dangerous swimming conditions are possible, especially near piers and jetties. Swimmers should avoid strong currents and remember to swim parallel to shore if caught.
Looking ahead, South Texas will stay breezy and rain-free through the weekend, with highs in the 80s and 90s. Additional weather statements may be issued if conditions change, especially along the coast.
